I wonder if this would be a viable option for Oleg's SOW:

Basically, it's a pre-purchase of the game which also provides access to Beta versions of the game and access to a closed Beta forum. Betas will be updated during development.
Of course, the purchase price includes access to the full and complete final release version of the game.
If nothing else, it would give Oleg hundreds, if not thousands of testers to weed out those nasty bugs he is busy with at this very moment. It would also give Oleg valuable hands-on feedback from real players, instead of the endless comments we see now concerning static screenshots.
I think it's a very interesting option that DCS is offering to the 'fanboys' of it's upcoming A-10C Warthog flightsim.
Obviously, this is a totally optional decision on the part of the buyers, so if there is anything at all that makes them uncomfortable at all, there is absolutely no need for them to participate.
I see it as an interesting option for the diehard fans as well as a lot free development input for DCS, the creators of the game.
